ANNUAL HALF-WAY DAY CELEBRATION THIS FRIDAY!
Fri., 1/31
Celebrate the first 90 days of school by having your child come to school in a way that illustrates "half" (half fancy/not, half red/blue, half awake/half sleepy etc). Have fun with this idea! Each person also brings in 50 cents (half a dollar) to be collected and donated to "New Pathways," a half-way house that finds temporary homes for teenagers in Brookline whose families are in crisis.
